Devon cream
« on: December 31, 2002, 07:25:30 AM »
I'm still in the states, but I had a food question.  I found a British foods section in my local Kroger store and I saw something called Devon cream in a can.  It's made by a company called Ambrosia.  I thought about trying some, but I wanted to see if anyone knew if this brand was good or not?

I have never used cream from a can...

But:  Ambrosia is a very well known brand, and I have had their rice pudding from a can and it's good.  I see no reason why their Devon cream would not be good as well.

It's quite possible what you have come across is called "custard" over here. Ambrosia custard is gorgeous. You pour it over everything that's dessert. You can do it hot over something cold, or cold over something hot. I'm guessing they've called it a 'cream' because if you saw 'custard' you'd think it would be rather thick, like an egg custard. 'Devon' is where it comes from, and cows in Devon are notorious for their cream. It's probably yellowish and as thick as pudding that's not quite set all the way. It'll taste vanilla-ish.

Go ahead, buy the can, heat up an apple pie and pour the cream over a slice. Oh, or maybe over a strawberry rhubbarb crumble. Oh yummy!
